Fly Away

Original and similar lyrics

It's cold here in the city
It always seems that way
And I've been thinking about you almost everyday
Thinking about the good times
Thinking about the rain
Thinking about how bad it feels alone again
I'm sorry for the way things are in China
I'm sorry things ain't what they used to be
But more than anything else
I'm sorry for myself
'Cause you're not here with me
Our friends all ask about you
I say you're doing fine
And I expect to hear from you almost anytime
But they all know I'm crying
And I can't sleep at night
They all know I'm dying down deep inside
I'm sorry for all the lies I told you
I'm sorry for the things I didn't say
But more than anything else
I'm sorry for myself
I can't believe you went away
I'm sorry if I took some things for granted
I'm sorry for the chains I put on you
But more than anything else
I'm sorry for myself
For living without you

I watched the city lights go up in Glasgow
And I thought about the stupid things we said the night before
There were so many words I had to say
So I wrote 'till I just couldn't write no more
I knew that come tomorrow, I'd be leaving
And I didn't want to bring it up because I'd miss you all
There were so many things I could regret
So I'll think 'till I just can't think no more
Here comes another night of trying to forget what I won't remember
And I can't move forward 'till I push you back
I won't stop 'till I make it back to you
But I need time to find out what I want from you
And when I clear these voices in my head
I'll hear what you've been saying and we'll sleep under the stars
I'm told that people like to call us dreamers
Because we won't ever stop until we've done all we can do
There are so many things I haven't seen
So I'll look 'till I just can't look no more
And if I told you everything I wanted
Would you close your eyes or look away or say you didn't hear
There are so many things I need from you
So I'll sing 'till I just can't sing no more
I won't stop 'till I make it back to you
But I need time to find out what I want from you
And when I clear these voices in my head
I'll hear what you've been saying and we'll sleep under the stars
Sat under this tree with you, the rain is on our faces
And I can't think of a single place where I would rather be
Don't forget, if you ever need me, I'm only a vodka away from you
Don't forget there's nothing you could say,
Nothing you can say that's any use to me
Don't forget, if you ever need me, I'm only a vodka away from you
Don't forget there's nothing you could say,
Nothing you can say that's any use to me

All this darkness won't turn light
And all this wrongs won't make it right
I watch the sun fade into night again
And everyday just feels the same
And all these drugs won't numb the pain
I look outside here comes the rain again
It's falling [x3]
It's falling again
It's falling [x3]
It's falling again
I see the sadness in your eyes
There's a darkness deep inside
But you act like everything is fine again
See everyone's afraid of time
We all do things and don't know why
Go far and wide to forget what we can
But we're falling
We're falling [x2]
We're falling again
But we're falling
We're falling [x2]
We're falling again
And our lives are wasted on the things we think we should be
Tell me why they've painted over everything we should see
And we're falling, we're falling
And I'm falling, yeah, I'm falling again
Yeah, I'm falling, falling,
Yeah, I'm falling, yeah, I'm falling again
Yeah, I'm falling, yeah, I'm falling
Yeah, I'm falling, yeah, I'm falling.

When all the things that you've been thinking
has you so confused and so unglued
your head is spinning
well we've all felt the same inside
I've been on that ledge countless times
and i know what that feels like
you're on your own, can't make it through this world all alone
Is this thing on?
Is this thing on at all??
when all your friends dont have the answers
and youre so convinced that inch by inch
theyve turned to strangers
well we all see different sides
no one here even knows youve talked all night
and i know what you feel like
your on your own can make it through this world all alone
is this thing on?
is this thing on?
is this thing on at all?
can we really measure If we're any better
than the skyline that goes on and on forever on and on?

I went out drinking with Thomas Paine
He said that all revolutions are not the same
They are as different as the cultures
That give them birth
For no one idea
Can solve every problem on Earth
So don't expect it all to happen
In some prophesized political fashion
For people are different
And so are nations
You can borrow ideas
But you can't borrow situations
In Leningrad the people say
Perestroika can be explained this way
The people who told us
that two and two is ten
Are now trying to tell us
the two and two is five
We're living in a North Sea Bubble
We're trying to spend our way out of trouble
You keep buying these things but you don't need them
But as long as you're comfortable it feels like freedom
My American friends don't know what to do
But they'll wait along time for a Beverley Hills coup
War! What is it good for
It's good for business
